This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases
contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage,
visibility, dll storage).
Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C.

to be pointers rather than const references.

This adds back r204781.
Original message:
Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given
define void @my_func() {
ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias
We produce without this patch:
.weak my_alias
my_alias = my_func
.globl my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias
That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a
@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func
would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.
There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

When converting a signed 32-bit integer to double-precision floating point on
hardware without a lfiwax instruction, we have to instead use a lfd followed
by fcfid. We were erroneously offsetting the address by 4 bytes in
preparation for either a lfiwax or lfiwzx when generating the lfd. This fixes
that silly error.
This was not caught in the test suite since the conversion tests were run with
-mcpu=pwr7, which implies availability of lfiwax. I've added another test
case for older hardware that checks the code we expect in the absence of
lfiwax and other flavors of fcfid. There are fewer tests in this test case
because we punt to DAG selection in more cases on older hardware. (We must
generate complex fiddly sequences in those cases, and there is marginal
benefit in duplicating that logic in fast-isel.)

Another step of modularizing the support library.

This change enables tracking i1 values in the PowerPC backend using the
condition register bits. These bits can be treated on PowerPC as separate
registers; individual bit operations (and, or, xor, etc.) are supported.
Tracking booleans in CR bits has several advantages:
- Reduction in register pressure (because we no longer need GPRs to store
boolean values).
- Logical operations on booleans can be handled more efficiently; we used to
have to move all results from comparisons into GPRs, perform promoted
logical operations in GPRs, and then move the result back into condition
register bits to be used by conditional branches. This can be very
inefficient, because the throughput of these CR <-> GPR moves have high
latency and low throughput (especially when other associated instructions
are accounted for).
- On the POWER7 and similar cores, we can increase total throughput by using
the CR bits. CR bit operations have a dedicated functional unit.
Most of this is more-or-less mechanical: Adjustments were needed in the
calling-convention code, support was added for spilling/restoring individual
condition-register bits, and conditional branch instruction definitions taking
specific CR bits were added (plus patterns and code for generating bit-level
operations).
This is enabled by default when running at -O2 and higher. For -O0 and -O1,
where the ability to debug is more important, this feature is disabled by
default. Individual CR bits do not have assigned DWARF register numbers,
and storing values in CR bits makes them invisible to the debugger.
It is critical, however, that we don't move i1 values that have been promoted
to larger values (such as those passed as function arguments) into bit
registers only to quickly turn around and move the values back into GPRs (such
as happens when values are returned by functions). A pair of target-specific
DAG combines are added to remove the trunc/extends in:
trunc(binary-ops(binary-ops(zext(x), zext(y)), ...)
and:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
In short, we only want to use CR bits where some of the i1 values come from
comparisons or are used by conditional branches or selects. To put it another
way, if we can do the entire i1 computation in GPRs, then we probably should
(on the POWER7, the GPR-operation throughput is higher, and for all cores, the
CR <-> GPR moves are expensive).

issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to

Stop folding constant adds into GEP when the type size doesn't match.
Otherwise, the adds' operands are effectively being promoted, changing the
conditions of an overflow. Results are different when:
sext(a) + sext(b) != sext(a + b)
Problem originally found on x86-64, but also fixed issues with ARM and PPC,
which used similar code.

Large code model on PPC64 requires creating and referencing TOC entries when
using the addis/ld form of addressing. This was not being done in all cases.
The changes in this patch to PPCAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction() fix this. Two
test cases are also modified to reflect this requirement.
Fast-isel was not creating correct code for loading floating-point constants
using large code model. This also requires the addis/ld form of addressing.
Previously we were using the addis/lfd shortcut which is only applicable to
medium code model. One test case is modified to reflect this requirement.

Here are a few miscellaneous things to tidy up the PPC64 fast-isel
implementation. I corrected a couple of commentary lapses, and added
documentation of future opportunities. I also implemented
TargetMaterializeAlloca, which I somehow forgot when I split up the
original huge patch.
Finally, I decided to delete SelectCmp. I hadn't previously hooked it
in to TargetSelectInstruction(), and when I did I realized it wasn't
serving any useful purpose. This is only useful for compares that
don't feed a branch in the same block, and to handle that we would
have to have logic to interpret i1 as a condition register. This
could probably be done, but would require Unseemly Hackery, and
honestly does not seem worth the hassle.
This ends the current patch series.

This is the last substantive patch I'm planning for fast-isel in the
near future, adding fast selection of integer truncates. There are
certainly more things that can be improved (many of which are called
out in FIXMEs), but for now we are catching most of the important
cases.
I'll document some of the remaining work in a cleanup patch shortly.

This patch adds fast-isel support for calls (but not intrinsic calls
or varargs calls). It also removes a badly-formed assert. There are
some new tests just for calls, and also for folding loads into
arguments on calls to avoid extra extends.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@189701 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Yet another chunk of fast-isel code. This one handles various
conversions involving floating-point. (It also includes some
miscellaneous handling throughout the back end for LWA_32 and LWAX_32
that should have been part of the load-store patch.)
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@189677 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Mostly trivial patch adding support for compares. The meat of the
work was added with the branch support.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@189639 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
This is the next big chunk of fast-isel code. The primary purpose is
to implement selection of loads and stores, but there is a lot of
drag-along to support this. The common code to analyze addresses for
both loads and stores is substantial. It's also necessary to add the
materialization code for global values.
Related to load-store processing is the code to fold loads into
integer extends, since otherwise we generate lots of redundant
instructions. We also need to add some overrides to some FastEmit
routines to ensure we don't assign GPR 0 to a virtual register when
this would change the meaning of an instruction.
I added handling selection of a few binary arithmetic instructions, to
enable committing some test cases I wrote a while back.
Finally, ap couple of miscellaneous changes:
* I cleaned up some poor style from a previous patch in
PPCISelLowering.cpp, pointed out by David Blaikie.
* I enlarged the Addr.Offset field to avoid sign problems with 32-bit
offsets.

Incremental improvement to fast-isel for PPC64. This allows us to
select on ret, sext, and zext. Filling in sext/zext improves some of
the existing logic in handling compare-immediates that needed extends.
A simplified return convention for fast-isel is also added to the
PPC64 calling conventions. All call/return processing for DAG
selection is handled with custom code, so there isn't an existing CC
to rely on here. The include of PPCGenCallingConv.inc causes compiler
warnings due to the 32-bit calling conventions that are not used, so
the dummy function "usePPC32CCs()" is added here to silence those.
Test cases for the return and extend logic are added.

First chunk of actual fast-isel selection code. This handles direct
and indirect branches, as well as feeding compares for direct
branches. PPCFastISel::PPCEmitIntExt() is just roughed in and will be
expanded in a future patch. This also corrects a problem with
selection for constant pool entries in JIT mode or with small code
model.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@189202 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
This is the first of many upcoming patches for PowerPC fast
instruction selection support. This patch implements the minimum
necessary for a functional (but extremely limited) FastISel pass. It
allows the table-generated portions of the selector to be created and
used, but in most cases selection will fall back to the DAG selector.
None of the block terminator instructions are implemented yet, and
most interesting instructions require some special handling.
Therefore there aren't any new test cases with this patch. There will
be quite a few tests coming with future patches.
This patch adds the make/CMake support for the new code (including
tablegen -gen-fast-isel) and creates the FastISel object for PPC64 ELF
only. It instantiates the necessary virtual functions
(TargetSelectInstruction, TargetMaterializeConstant,
TargetMaterializeAlloca, tryToFoldLoadIntoMI, and FastLowerArguments),
but of these, only TargetMaterializeConstant contains any useful
implementation. This is present since the table-generated code
requires the ability to materialize integer constants for some
instructions.
This patch has been tested by building and running the
projects/test-suite code with -O0. All tests passed with the
exception of a couple of long-running tests that time out using -O0
code generation.
